1990s flashback - the bodysuit!

[sighbynight]

I know this will probably be greeted with revulsion and contemptuous pity, but can you still get these anywhere? I need something along these lines to fit under a slim fitting skirt. I'm obviously no good at tucking myself in because I usually look like a bag of spuds.

Its a blouse or shirt style I'm after, by the way, not a body con lace number. Those definitely still exist but .

I used to love them. Am the the only one who could do them up even when pissed?

They were great for confusing men too. They had no idea how to get into them.

To answer a question up thread, yes, you wore underwear. Or at least I did anyway.

I loved mine. Can't think why I'd forgotten about them until this thread...

Poppers no problem, even after knocking back the Diamond White (boak). The only downside I recall was being long of body, they seemed to flattern my boobs

They did them for men too.

I loved them, I have a few from last year M&S I think.

Goggle shopping brings up some that made me chuckle.

I wore a purple cap sleeved bodysuit, with hotpants AND tights. I looked HOT (aged 17) but no fucker could get inside that lot.

It was, essentially, a 90s chastity belt.

Neil Diamond in a body suit

I shall never venture onto the S&B boards again. That'll learn me.

I'm going to see Neil Diamond at the end of the month.
If his shirt doesn't untuck I'll let you all know

Don't worry all, they're still available for men even today

I thought of this thread yesterday as I saw a shirt bodysuit from Bentton in the charity shop yesterday!

Can someone explain what the point of bodysuits are. They just seem really impractical.

I started wearing them when I rode a bike everywhere; perfect for the avoidance of builder's bum on a bicycle.
I wore them when pregnant because they gave me a bit of support, and now I wear them because they smooth out my fat a bit.

I miss them too! Well, not the shiny Lycra men's ones

I'm tall and 'sturdy' - Wolford ones were always best for me, and I also found many winners from TopShop and Oasis. M&S ones were too short in the trunk.

The poppers were a massive advantage to me - I can't express how much I hate having to get undressed for a pee. You had to make sure the thing was well constructed and fitted properly.

Mind you, I'm so fat in the middle these days, there's no advantage to a smooth midriff line :( I'd look like a haggis.

Chair - If you were really being sexy: suspenders, knickers, body! HTH
